You have to hand it to the McDermonator - his record is spookily perfectly segmented. Of his 131 games in charge, he's got an almost exact 50% total Reading wins (66) - My. Symmetry! 25% draws, and 25% wins near enough too.
There is a line that has been drawn from Mourinho - I wonder where it end? Mourinho - Rodgers - McDermott: each influencing the other. I used to love Coppell too - Reading have a great lineage in managers, and, since Coppell, each as dour and unspectacular a character as you can hope to see giving a post-match interview. What's in the water?
